  • Abstract:
  • The focus of the present study was to examine the relationship between Emotional Competence and Organisational Commitment amongst working adults of the Gen-Z. The five components of Emotional Competence are: Adequate Depth of Feelings(ADF), Adequate Expression and Control of Emotions(AECE), Ability to Function with Emotions(AFE), Ability to Cope with Problem Emotion(ACPE),Enhancement of Positive Emotions(EME). Participants’ Emotional Competence was measured using Emotional Competence Scale. Their Organisational Competence was measured by using Organisational Commitment Questionnaire. Lastly, a comparison was made in the Organisational Commitment and Emotional Competence between males and females. Potential relationship between Emotional Competence on one’s Work Commitment was analysed. Through snowball sampling, sample size of 130 males and females were taken (age 20-26 years). Through Pearson Product Correlation analysis, it was seen that there exists a positive relationship between Emotional Competence and Work Commitment. There was a positive relationship between Work Commitment and ADF, ACPE and EPE. The correlations between Work Commitment and AECE and AFE didn’t come out to be significant. Through t-test, it was found that there exists no significant difference between males and females in terms of Work Commitment and Emotional Competence. The study will help in working with the newest generation (Generation-Z) as they are newly entering the workforce and have a different perspective to work and motivation.
